So you have always wanted a real Christmas tree, but you can’t own it

There will definitely be worse problems before and after the holidays. Although artificial trees look beautiful, seeing other people like to find, cut and build their own real, Michigan-grown Christmas trees. This will make you a little eager when you can’t have one. Heart time.

For some people, this is a preference. Some people don't want to deal with these messy things, the workload is too much, too expensive, they don't have time and so on.

There are many reasons why someone would choose not to own a real Christmas tree, and they are all completely effective. However, when you always want one but can't have it due to allergies and other reasons, the situation is a little different.

Growing up, we always knew that my mother was allergic to pine trees, so we always had an artificial tree. Then one windy day, I walked into a local bakery and was hit by a pine tree branch. Hives started to grow on my face.

Whenever I am around a pine tree, I will have normal breathing reactions, nasal congestion, dry eyes, etc. But when I touch it, I itch from head to toe.

One summer, I helped my neighbor cut a tree. I didn't expect it to be a pine tree. I sweated profusely, my pores opened, and it was itchy for three days.

Going to one of the many Christmas tree farms in Michigan and picking out the perfect Christmas tree farm, it seems fun to have a full day of adventure in it. Some people will even enter the Michigan National Forest on a "Christmas holiday" and cut down their own trees in the wild (of course, permission is required-click here for more information).

There are songs, movie scenes and TV episodes all about finding the perfect tree. This is one of the Michigan Christmas experiences I really missed.

Our tradition is to pull our artificial trees out of the basement and put them together for decoration, while burning pine, balsam or other tree-flavored candles to maintain the "ambience".

Of course, this is my own tradition, and I like it. However, there seems to be a certain part that does not have the same appeal.

My sister is going to have her first real Christmas tree this year. She has just been allergic to our mother's animal hair. I am very happy that at least one of us can experience it!

If you find yourself in the same position as me, there are some ways to make your artificial tree feel equally magical and special.

Visit the forest farm, keep a distance from real trees, and take photos with family, friends or other important people. Pretend until you succeed!

Decorate with trucks that transport trees on the bed. They have been popular in various holiday decorations in recent years. You can at least show off your appreciation of beauty and experience without actually owning it.

You can also, like me, spend a day pruning your own artificial tree. Light some candles, play holiday tunes, drink some (spiced) hot cocoa, and even own a tree.

Finally, you can really zero out the "things" of the artificial tree and let yourself have a fashionable color, style, etc. Who said that all trees must be real to be beautiful?

No matter how you celebrate, no matter how you decorate, don't be too conceited. Enjoy the holiday you want...especially if it means being able to breathe properly and will only be itchy because of your ugly sweater instead of your tree.
